The <frame> element

Parent element: <harmony>

The frame type represents a frame or fretboard diagram used together with a chord symbol. The representation is based on the NIFF guitar grid with additional information. The frame type’s unplayed attribute indicates what to display above a string that has no associated frame-note element. Typical values are x and the empty string. If the attribute is not present, the display of the unplayed string is application-defined.
